Match 6 of VIVO IPL 2018 against the Delhi Daredevils will be a special occasion for the Rajasthan Royals, not only because it will be their first home game of the season, but also because it will be the team’s return to their fortress in a long time. The Royals’ season-opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad was a largely forgettable outing, and the team will be keen to make amends and open their account at their home ground.

The Delhi Daredevils come into this match after being blown away by KXIP’s KL Rahul in their season opener. DD posted 166-7 – a respectable total on most occasions, but were caught off guard as Rahul got stuck into their bowlers and set a new mark for the fastest half-century in the IPL.

Both teams would want to quickly erase the opening game from their memory, but they would do well to take learnings of deficiencies in that game and work towards fixing them.Both teams will definitely have a hard look at their combinations and batting order. On paper, Delhi Daredevils – further bolstered by the joining of Glenn Maxwell – definitely look the stronger team; will they be able to translate potential to performance?
